ZFL-500LN+
Overview
The ZFL-500LN+ is a coaxial low-noise amplifier (LNA) designed for signal processing in the 100kHz to 500MHz frequency range. It provides a flat 24dB gain with a low 2.9dB noise figure, housed in a rugged chassis-mount module with SMA connectors for easy integration. This amplifier is ideal for VHF and UHF applications requiring signal boost with minimal noise injection.
Why Choose This Part
The module features an integrated SMA connector package that eliminates the need for complex RF PCB layout and soldering. It operates on a standard 15V supply with a low 60mA current draw while maintaining a high P1dB of 5dBm. The wide operating frequency range and excellent VSWR make it a robust choice for diverse RF environments.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Integration requires connecting a stable 15V DC power source to the feed-through pin and grounding the chassis. Use high-quality SMA cables to connect the RF input and output, ensuring the input power does not exceed the maximum rated levels to prevent damage. The unit can be mounted to a heat sink or chassis using the optional 'B' bracket for improved thermal management in high-duty cycle applications.
